Wall St. Journal & Boston Globe Validate Biotech Bubble Trend

The validation is coming in fast and furious regarding our biotech bubble prediction. We said:

Stock market and
the biotech bubble. 2014 will be marked by concerns about the health
of the stock market. Of the different sectors, rising biotech shares will

parts of the industry, especially startups as VCs start getting nervous about
their portfolios. Implications:
There’s not much publicly held companies can do – except, as a Forbes reporter once
told us, have you company “do better…and boost its share price.” We just think
it’s important to understand how editors allocate their resources (reporters’
time and the outlets’ news hole).
